Post Injury Rehabilitation
Serving the Greater San Bernardino County Area including Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Fontana, Upland, CA
Dealing with an injury goes way beyond managing pain. It also involves getting a grip on inflammation and swelling, aiming for more rest, and safely returning to your regular activities when the time is right. This process can be demanding, time-consuming, and mentally draining at times, but it’s crucial if you want to promptly and fully recover.
Our wellness facility is committed to helping people manage their injuries. With multiple recovery services, we make it possible for those with injuries to experience less pain, reduced inflammation, and a faster recovery time.
Post Injury Rehabilitation
- What is Post Injury Rehabilitation?
Post-injury rehabilitation is the process of recovering after experiencing an injury. It focuses on managing pain and swelling, upkeeping (and eventually fully restoring) mobility, building confidence as one returns to regular movements, and preventing re-injury.
Services involved in this process may include localized cryotherapy for pain management, guided mobility stretching to improve range of motion, or NormaTec compression therapy to move stagnant fluids and boost blood flow.
- Why is Post Injury Rehab Important?
The process of post-injury rehab is important because it can dictate your healing timeline and how well you heal overall.
Failure to heal according to the expected timeline can result in prolonged pain and inflammation, potentially leading to a higher risk of infection or long-term damage. Poor healing, on the other hand, may cause lingering symptoms and even set you up for re-injury in the near future.
- How Do I Know if Post Injury Rehab is Right for Me?
If you’ve recently dealt with an injury or underwent surgery, and you’re generally healthy, you may qualify for post-injury rehab services. Even if your injury is considered healed at this point, you may still experience lingering symptoms.
Those experiencing limited mobility or reduced flexibility, frequent pain, recurring swelling or inflammation, or tightness in the area of or where the injury was, can likely benefit from our services.
- Can I Get Post Injury Rehab While Getting Physical Therapy?
Yes! Post-injury rehab services from Recovery Lab can be paired with standard physical therapy. In fact, it’s often recommended.
While physical recovery emphasizes recovery on a medical level and aim to restore your overall function, post-injury rehab services from Recovery Lab place focus on rebuilding stability, improving movement and flexibility, helping decrease muscle stiffness, reducing soreness, and bringing down swelling.
When in doubt, always speak with a doctor before booking a post-injury wellness service.
- What Types of Recovery Lab Services Help with Injuries?
At Recovery Lab, we offer a great selection of recovery service options for those experiencing an active injury or still dealing with lingering symptoms after a past injury had already “healed.”
For example, we offer cryotherapy to help manage pain and inflamed tissues, hyperbaric oxygen therapy to supply your cells with the oxygen they need to engage in faster injury repair, and percussion therapy to break tight muscles and enhance circulation, among other applicable services.
